BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a body protecting equipments.Particularly, the present invention relates to a body protecting vest.More particularly, the present invention relates to a body protectingvest capable of connecting the detachable elements to the outer side ofthe body protection vest.

2. Description of Related Art Including Information Disclosed Under 37CFR 1.97 and 37 CFR 1.98.

Working at construction sites is one of the oldest ways to earn moneyfor people. Over the centuries, safety equipment has been developed forpeople at construction sites. The equipment often varies from one typeof construction to the next.

While all of the prior art constructions are more than adequate for thebasic purpose and function for which they have been specificallydesigned, they are uniformly deficient with respect to their failure toprovide a simple, efficient, and practical workman's vest constructionthat provides virtually instant access to a plurality of accessorycompartments containing the basic items required to perform a specifictask.

As most workmen are all too well aware, many work projects require thatthe workman carries a large number of different tools, accessories,fasteners and the like required to complete the job and the task ofcarrying, segregating and accessing these items oftentimes createsinsurmountable obstacles.

Further, most prior art vests do not provide the facility of storagespace. In cases where the storage space is provided in the safety vestit is not detachable.

Safety vests commercially available today seldom have MOLLE straps forconnecting the external attachments. Few of the existing vests areillustrated in U.S. Pat. No. 5,617,582 A, U.S. Pat. No. 8,875,314 B1 andU.S. Pat. No. 7,032,250 B1.

U.S. Pat. No. 5,617,582 A to Daniel G. Burwell shows a load bearing vestfor use by military and police personnel includes a right front panel, aleft front panel and a rear panel, each being formed of a durable,abrasion resistant material. Right and left shoulder straps, also formedof durable abrasion resistant material, connect an upper portion of therear panel with upper portions of the right front panel and left frontpanel respectively. Expandable right and left side panels formed ofelastic material with a high strain capacity, connect the rear panelwith the right front panel and the left front panel respectively belowthe shoulder strap to define right and left arm openings respectivelythere between. The side panels extend downward to the end of the frontand rear panels. An expandable front closure connects the right frontpanel with the left front panel. A floating center panel is connected tothe front closure in such a manner that the front closure remainselastically expandable independent of the floating panel.

U.S. Pat. No. 8,875,314 B1 to Joseph R. Panetta shows a tool kit vestassembly securely holds and provides easy access to tools, allows foradjustment of the vest, and provides ventilation to dissipate heat. Theassembly includes a flexible panel having a first end and a second end.An aperture is positioned in the panel between the first end and thesecond end and between a pair of lateral sides of the panel. A dorsalportion of the panel extends from the aperture to the first end of thepanel. A pocket is coupled to the panel. A flap is coupled to the pocketand is positionable between an opened position and a closed position. Aninterior fastener couples the flap to the pocket when the flap is in theclosed position. An exterior fastener couples the flap to the panel whenthe flap is in the opened position.

U.S. Pat. No. 7,032,250 B1 to Abednego Ben Davis and Charles QuagalaD'Johns shows an improved vest construction including an upper torsoencircling garment provided with at least one upper torso encirclingraceway member in the form of an elongated flexible track element havingopposed ends that are adapted to be secured to one another, as well as,a generally C-shaped cross-sectional configuration that is adapted toslidably receive a portion of a movable storage unit that includes aplurality of storage receptacles each provided with a wheel that rollswithin said flexible track element.

None of the above inventions and patents, taken either singly or incombination, are seen to disclose a protection vest with MOLLE strapsfor connecting the external attachments.

Further, none of this prior art suggests the present inventivecombination of component elements arranged and configured for theefficient solution of this problem as disclosed and claimed herein.Prior devices do not provide the benefits of the present invention whichachieves its intended purposes, objectives and advantages over the priorart devices through a new, useful and unobvious combination of componentelements, through no increase in the number of functioning parts, at aminimum cost and through the utilization of only readily availablematerials and conventional components.
